TRACTOR STORAGE
If you intend to store your tractor for an extended period
of time, follow the procedures outlined below. These
procedures will insure that the tractor is ready to operate
with minimum preparation when it is removed from
storage.
1. Check the bolts and nuts for looseness, and tighten if
necessary.
2. Apply grease to tractor areas where bare metal will
rust also to pivot areas.
3. Detach the weights from the tractor body.
4. Inflate the tires to a pressure a little higher than usual.
5. Change the engine oil and run the engine to circulate
oil throughout the engine block and internal moving
parts for about 5 minutes.
6. With all implements lowered to the ground, coat any
exposed hydraulic cylinder piston rods with grease.
7. Remove the battery from the tractor. Store the battery
following the battery storage procedures.
(See "Checking Battery Condition" in "EVERY 100
HOURS" in "PERIODIC SERVICE OF THE
TRACTOR" section.)
8. Keep the tractor in a dry place where the tractor is
sheltered from the elements. Cover the tractor.
9. Store the tractor indoors in a dry area that is protected
from sunlight and excessive heat. If the tractor must be
stored outdoors, cover it with a waterproof tarpaulin.
Jack the tractor up and place blocks under the front
and rear axles so that all 4 tires are off the ground.
Keep the tires out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
A
When washing the tractor, be sure to stop the engine.
Allow sufficient time for the engine to cool before
washing.
A
Cover the tractor after the muffler and the engine have
cooled down.
REMOVING THE TRACTOR FROM
STORAGE
1. Check the tire air pressure and inflate the tires if they
are low.
2. Jack the tractor up and remove the support blocks
from under the front and rear axles.
3. Install the battery. Before installing the battery, be sure
it is fully charged.
4. Check the fan belt tension.
5. Check all fluid levels (engine oil, transmission/
hydraulic oil, engine coolant and any attached
implements).
6. Start the engine. Observe all gauges. If all gauges are
functioning properly and reading normal, move the
tractor outside. Once outside, park the tractor and let
the engine idle for at least 5 minutes. Shut the engine
off and walk around tractor and make a visual
inspection looking for evidence of oil or water leaks.
7. With the engine fully warmed up, release the parking
brake and test the brakes for proper adjustment as you
move forward. Adjust the brakes as necessary.
